Ok I just got my ace or master pilot (since I'm a new-b ace and don't PVP) and was wondering if I go and become a neutral pilot do I loose my imperial pilotstanding/skill/box? I mean I'd miss using my oppressor (well besides the wobbly control it has on the x axis when you come offa high speed loop...heh I adjusted my game control to minimize that annoyance) So how's it work?

Yes. When you drop a pilot profession, you will lose all pilot EXP, prestige and all your skills (certs. and everything).
However, you will get an ace EXP bonus. For your second ace, you'll get double EXP.

Yes, you have to completely drop your imperial skills before you can even start on freelancer.
You will loose all your XP and all your Prestige points as well.
And if you do it: Redeed ALL your ships BEFORE you surrender Imperial Pilot (except the Yacht, if you have one), otherwise you will not be able to access them later, and all stuff inside the ships is unavailable (unless a CSR helps you)

Note: if you master another squad in the same group (neutral) you will regain access to your ships when you reach those boxes.
Common practice is to stuff a Duney and breeze through a second neutral ace, since its fast and easy to get the 1st 4 missions, then take the ships box. Exceptionally cheesy that the gear level isn't checked, but it works.

Since he was talking about dropping Imperial and picking up Freelancer, I think the advice to redeed his ships is better than wait till he can fly them again

You can equip a tier 1 ship with high level loot, drop pilot, start again and use that ship once you have the first box, with all the high level loot. (Guess you could even do it with a novice vessel)
Only ship level is checked here, not of any equipment that is already installed. According to devs, this is by design though.

So what you say is that if you go for your second baqgde in arow in the same faction you can actully just leave your ships as they are and you can still use them eaven iff you just have eks 3222 i could use my old interceptor with lvl 6 gun etc? does it also count for the Flightcomp aswell?
